Abstract (en)

[Problem] To provide a suspension link having excellent reliability in strength or the like of a coupling portion of the suspension link while being inexpensive. [Solution] The present invention relates to a production method for a suspension link (100) having a tire coupling portion (11) that rotatably couples a tire to a suspension and a suspension coupling portion (12) that is coupled to a sub-frame member constituting the suspension, the method including: a bending process in which a plate is bent, a bent portion of the bent plate is formed into a hollow shape, and the hollow shape is used as one of the tire coupling portion and the suspension coupling portion; and an edge bending process in which an outer peripheral edge portion of the plate is bent prior to the bending process. The outer peripheral edge portion of the plate is bent by the edge bending process, the outer peripheral edge portion of the plate including an area from an arm (15) to a bent portion (24).
